Ellis (Metro Manila) also co-wrote the script Anthony Frewin (Colour Me Kubrick: A True…ish Story).
Principal photography will commence on 13 July 2015 in Prague. The film
tells the story of how the Allied forces carried out missions during
World War II to assassinate Nazi SS-General Reinhard Heydrich. Nicknamed
“The Butcher of Prague”, Heydrich had enjoyed a meteoric rise through
the SS ranks and was at the time second only to Himmler and Hitler in
the Third Reich’s hierarchy. Trained by British forces, two soldiers
from Czechoslovakia’s army-in-exile were to be parachuted into their
homeland with a daring assignment: to assassinate the man many saw as
Hitler’s natural successor.

Anthropoid is produced by Mickey Liddell (The Grey) and Pete Shilaimon (In Secret) for LD Entertainment, Leonard Glowinski (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) for 22H22, Anita Overland (Rush) and Chris Curling (Hannibal Rising), and executive produced by Jennifer Monroe (Disconnect).
Krystof Mucha and David Ondricek of Lucky Man Films are co-producers
for the Czech Republic. ICM Partners packaged the film and will be
handling the North American sale with UTA. Altitude Film Sales is
managing international sales.
